Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is not only political icon, but also leading social role model, said H E Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al Thani, CEO of Qatar Media Corporation (QMC), after placing his signature on “Tamim Al Majd” portrait launched yesterday by the corporation.
The launch event was attended by considerable number of media personnels, officials and employees.
Sheikh Abdulrahman thanked all nationals and expatriates and media personnels who wrote their message on the image on the first day with their signatures and spontaneous expressions of love and respect to Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The launch of the iconic image has come in response to the desire of media colleagues who are part of the Qatari social fabric and wanted to express their love to the Emir, he stressed.
The CEO of the QMC said: “Let me take the advantage of this occasion to thank Ahmed Majid Al Ali, for the beautiful image and for all who placed their signature and expressed gratitude to HH the Emir.
